According to The daily star: He was stabbed through the heart by George Koh, 24, outside his home in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, on January 11.

“I have heard moving statements from his mother and his cousin.”

Koh and his accomplice Merse Dikanda were both jailed for life for murder last week.

Jonathan Okigbo was jailed for 14 years after he was cleared of murder, but found guilty of manslaughter.

Sentencing them at the Old Bailey, Judge Wendy Joseph said Mr Uzoka’s family had told of the fear over knife crime.

She said: “They describe the impact of such offending on the community, children who are frightened to go out, parents who are thinking of buying their sons stab-proof vests just to ensure they are safe to go about their everyday lives.
